HPV warts and the Immune System

I started getting warts in 2005 and used aldara or got them frozen. Then I went for about a year with no warts. Now I think I am getting them back again pretty severely. I am going to the doctor soon. Is it true that a lot of people's immune system can overcome the warts within two or three years of showing symptoms?
Are there any married couples with HPV warts on this forum? If so please send advice. Thank you very very much.

Sorry one more question about warts. If you have them internally, (in the cervix) does that make it easier for warts to develop externally?

your immune system does play a HUGE part, or at least it does in my case. when i was diagnosed about 2 months ago, i started eating a lot of fruits & veggies & immune-boosting foods, and within a few weeks my warts were shrinking or gone. well for the past 2 weeks i've had 2 friends staying at my place so i was getting lazy about healthy eating, and my warts seem to be growing again. so even though we can't see our immune systems, that doesn't mean they're not powerful!

oh and the warts that can grow on your cervix are a different strain of HPV than external genital warts, so no it doesn't increase the chance.
